Tying run 90 feet away. 2 outs.

 

How do we score?

Wait... He pinch hit for a non-DH...

 

Does that mean he will be fielding?!

I'll answer exactly as I did when asked about plans for moms funeral: remains to be seen.

Reverse psychology just means to google it?  Seems overly technical title to me.

Usually it's from having the runner touch home plate. 

[h2oface]

We need to trade for Reynaldo Lopez. More Lopez just to confuse the opposition.

Sigh…

Don't think MAT would have come to bat if that were the plan.

I thought it might.  Any kids running running around the neighborhood?  Ask them.

Try dinner, a movie, and some compliments.

I've been looking for a new favorite Twins since Berrios got traded. I'm enjoying Trevor's audition for the role

I suppose I should also mention that Michael Taylor and Willi Castro are auditioning to be my least favorite Twins since Tommy Herr.

But what about a married guy?🤷‍♂️

[KirbyDome89]

They gave up the DH in a one run game?

[Vanimal46]

It’s becoming comical the lengths we’re going to in order to keep Buxton off the field.

Good luck.

[cheeseheadgophfan]

Gallo and Correa must absolutely be unavailable.......sucks.

If Buxton can PH, then he can DH for ****'s sake.

Dunno, never tried it on a married man, but it shoukd work. Maybe don't compliment him on his sundress.

Yeah, he's healthy enough to DH regularly, run the bases, and come off the bench to pinch hit, but he can't play even one inning in CF right now and we're giving up the DH in a one run game?

Rocco just misses the day of the old Double Switch.

It’s insanity. There’s no logic anymore… Just straight up stubbornness to keep him off the field.

Like when the Sox started the all Garcia outfield against us?

[h2oface]

Maeda visit from Maki resulted in a 3 run homer

 

[nicksaviking]

Seems weird to complain about pitchers hitting when Gordon, Casto and Taylor are still in the lineup. In all likelihood, the pitcher will be an improvement.

[h2oface]

Just call them all strikes.......

Like someone said earlier I too miss the olden days when we had a good solid everyday line-up or at least go with instinct that by what the numbers say.  Buxton has been pretty good and even if he was playing in CF instead of DH'ing he should be able handle a full two weeks in the lineup. As a DH i see absolutely no reason why he can't play every day
